                How it works

                • You get one free breeding a day. Breeding a coat you have never bred before earns a bonus one.
                • A foal gets one copy of each gene from each parent, picked at random. The forecast counts every combination.
                • Foals grow up overnight and can breed from the next day.
                • Visiting horses change every day. They are how cream, dun, roan, tobiano, grey and leopard spotting reach your herd; the rarer ones turn up less often.
                • The herd holds twelve horses. Rehome one to make room.

                The eight genes

                Extension E / e
                E allows black pigment; two copies of e make a chestnut.
                Agouti A / a
                A keeps black to the mane, tail and legs (bay); a/a leaves the horse black. Hidden on a chestnut.
                Cream Cr / n
                One copy lightens the coat (palomino, buckskin, smoky black); two copies give a pale cream horse.
                Dun D / nd
                One copy is enough: a paler body with a dark stripe down the back.
                Roan Rn / n
                One copy is enough: white hairs mixed through the body, with a solid head and legs.
                Tobiano To / n
                One copy is enough: large white patches.
                Grey G / g
                One copy is enough: the foal is born colored and turns grey with age.
                Leopard complex LP / lp
                One copy gives appaloosa spotting; two copies give a nearly white few-spot.

                Real horses have more color genes than these eight. The color guide covers the rest, and the color calculator works out a single cross in more detail.
